So let me get this straight
If the police come to me, in a "time of war" (on Drugs), and ask me to break into the house next door (where some college students live) and look for/plant some weed, because some damn leftist judge probably won't give them a warrant, it's my simple patriotic duty to do this?
Funny how, despite the intense pressure applied over past decades to raise drug possession to the status of a crime against the state, things haven't quite come to this on the local level. It's only happening on the federal level. There is no such understanding in any other area, among law enforcement, the judiciary, or otherwise.
It's almost as though the telecoms were actively volunteering for this patriotic duty before the NSA went to them.
